ok listen. i know no big platform is actually "safe" atm. Bluesky is run by shitheads, this place sucks too.

that being said, i need to fucking implore you, Twitter's unsafety is on a whole other level. there's "not safe" and then there's the actual wolf's den.

Long story short, an actual Nazi doxxing ring. Enough people reported them that they went away for like 12 hours and then Elon personally brought them back. The site is dead. If you’re still on there, go lock your account right now

No idea what happened with my demo reel but it's apparently gone now. I'll try and re-upload it when I have the opportunity.

Explaining my situation (reposted with alt text) ‼️💕

ko-fi.com/bmbrshblsh

#mutualaid #transaid #helpsky #disabilityaid #vtuber

To explain my situation;

I am a disabled trans woman, and while before I had been able to work just fine, last year before I lost my job I was in and out of doctors offices trying to figure my health out. All of this time off ended up costing me my job in the end, and I have been unemployed since. I deal with a mix of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease and Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, which makes my day to day living extremely difficult. I have been financially supported by both Twitch as well as donations since last year, and bills on my end have begun to pile up. I am currently 6000 dollars in credit card debt, and this month alone they want 300 dollars minimum. As well as payment plans I have been on since before I lost my job last year, namely my phone (which I am thankfully almost done paying off). I have been looking consistently for a job for months, especially with my 26 birthday early next year, meaning I will no longer have access to my Fathers insurance, which means unless I get insured I will be paying much more out of pocket for my medications including my hormones.

I want to explain all of this to you so that I can be more transparent about why I am asking for help so often, shit isn't easy right now. If you can send any sort of support, I would appreciate it so much. If not, that's okay. Just spreading the word is more than enough for me.

Thank you.

The graphical and technological jump between the PS4 and PS5 is one small step for consoles...

And that's it

I dont even see a reason to get a PS6

Both PS6 and the next Xbox are planned for a 2027 release, according to separate reports.

Being real, when I get back to streaming, i might take the time to clear out my backlog as much as possible.

I keep complaining about games being super expensive (and will continue to do so) but honestly it's not like I have nothing to play.

Librarian here, Baker and Taylor closing is a huge deal. Give your local library some love and tell your favorite librarian how much you appreciate them because our jobs are about to get a lot harder.

Julia Skinner, PhD @bookishjulia.bsky.social · 4d

If you aren’t aware of the inner workings of libraries, losing Baker and Taylor is A Very Big Deal.
It’ll mean libraries will face additional challenges around ordering materials, on top of the many other challenges they face right now.
